Undine
Frederich de La Motte-Fouqué
Book Overview:
Undine is a novel by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué in which Undine, a water spirit, marries a knight named Huldebrand in order to gain a soul. The novel served as inspiration for two operas in the romantic style by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann and Albert Lortzing, respectively, and two ballets: the nineteenth century Ondine and the twentieth century Undine. An edition of the book was illustrated by Arthur Rackham. In The Fantastic Imagination, George MacDonald writes, “Were I asked, what is a fairytale? I should reply, Read Undine: that is a fairytale … of all fairytales I know, I think Undine the most beautiful.”

The old man fell upon Undine's neck and could not satisfy the exuberance of his joy; his good wife also came up and caressed the newly-found in the heartiest manner. Not a word of reproach passed their lips; nor was it thought of, for Undine, forgetting all her waywardness, almost overwhelmed her foster-parents with affection and fond expressions.

Alapvetően nem szoktam elájulni a lovagos sztoriktól. Túl sok hierarchia van beléjük kódolva, amit ugyan érdekesnek, talán bájosnak találok, de aki szerint ez maga a romantikus aranykor, azt botoztassa meg Csongrád vármegye alispánja. Persze csak miután (ahogy azt a jogszerűség kívánalmai előírják)
